I know this is an older video but I just picked up an SB3000. I have the klipsch sevens and the SB3000 hooked up to my 77 inch C2 in my smaller bedroom. I played Aquaman and I was amazed at the bass it put out! Still playing with the settings, definitely impressed so far!!
I just recently purchased dual SVS SB3000 subs, mainly to eliminate the nulls, etc. that you get with only one sub. I couldn't be happier. I love these subs! My main interest is music and they just excel. Unlike your experience, my home theatre experience with the dual SB3000s leaves me wanting nothing more. They just rock! Maybe it's because I'm using dual and they have been calibrated for my room.
Very possibly so. I think I just prefer Dual Ported for my home theater. It’s an entirely new experience.
Youthman Makes sense to me. Everything I've heard about PB is that they really excel for home theatre (of course, not to imply that they are a slouch for music! 🤣). Plus, your home theatre is bigger than my living room and the extra oomph of the PB is most likely very warranted! 🤗
Thanks again!
Youthman is going the distance, No one I’m saying big doggy
I love my dual SB-3000 set up! Took some time to get the tune right. Need to be patient with them
Yeah I'm curious too?
The, SB-3000, rocks, I received mine on Wednesday. I think this will definitely become a best seller for SVS!
I upgraded from the SB-2000 to the SB-3000 and man, the additional output hits hard. For a $999 sealed sub it performs very well. I would have loved to have gotten the PB-3000, but my wife vetoed it as it was too big for our living room. Even so, I can def crank it up and it shakes my living room. I didn’t hear any distortion during movies that I would have gotten with the SB2000. Great review and video!
Thats good to know as i want to upgrade my sb2000 for the sb3000
@Sly foxxx For me it was a pretty big difference. The 2000 is a great sub, but I definitely felt the additional output immediately with the 3000. My sub is also located in a fairly open living room, so if you have the 2000 in a smaller room you may be just fine with the 2000.
I'm going from the SB-1000 to the SB-2000😂
I'm still looking forward to my findings though.
Wow-this is the exact comparison I asked for after watching you last subwoofer video a few days ago, and here it is-Thank You. Unfortunately, I believe you have cost me another $700 because I will likely be ordering dual PB3000s instead of the dual SB3000s I was contemplating.
Trust me 2 PB3000 are overkill lol. I have a PB3000 and thinking about possibly exchanging it for the SB3000 lol
Raymond, you should sell your PB3000’s to Dave. 😉
@@Youthman lol 😂. I still have that return window that SVS offers ;)
Thanks for your reply youthman!
More of the same. Smiling face dude obsessed with subwoofer!
Particularly SVS...
Man!!! I'M glad I'm not your neighbor!!! Hahaha!!! 😂👍✌😉
Played Aquaman in my theater room last weekend, definitely a Bass Demo Disc! You are dead on!
Hi youthman, I took the plunge, and replaced my Rel T7i with svs sb 3000, what a big step up it is, now I have to save up for a second one.
Congrats. Enjoy
Dual SB3000s in a room under 2500cu. ft is amazingly impressive. Just found that out. Hits 102db at 20hz.
Lots of slam for a small sub
Ben Tan Would you say it beats a single PB-3000? I have a single SB-3000 and want more base, but the size of PB-3000 is just monstrous. My room is about 1500 cubic feet
Wow! What about the 12-20 herts
Hi mate, to get rid of any rattling and to tighten up the bass even more, buy the SVS soundpath isolation feet. They make a huge difference on any subwoofer (not just SVS) and will totally cure your problems just like it done mine, thanks
Agree with your comment.
I used these feet on my klipsch R-115SW's. Just had to install threaded inserts.
Great review as usual! The title and around 14mins when the SB3000 is shown both have PB3000 though
I'm a diehard sealed sub guy, nothing like the punch of a sealed sub and not just for music. I have a medium size theater room but I don't want subs as big as furniture and these SB3000's are the perfect size to put two of them anywhere in the room. I agree than ported subs go lower but movies are more than just rumbles and explosions. IMO.
+1. I also have small room, and I mostly listen to music and response is the most important factor for me. A ported sub would destroy my room and not be as good for music imo.
Same here. Sb 3000, maybe even sb4000, are wife friendly in the living room, and they are much better for music and still awesome for movies. I got a 4x5m soundzone room, and big subs will just make annoying rumble, not good solid punches.
Plus, this guy was just testing 1SB 3000 so in a large room when he is comparing that performance to his 1600 dual subwoofer set up it’s not gonna produce the same output
Just bought mine! Thanks for the review!
I wasn't thrilled with either one until I heard the PB3000 in sealed mode. That's the ticket maybe even just one port plugged.
Watching your last few videos where you've been comparing this PB3000 to the Klipsch have been fun, love your enthusiasm for subwoofage, although you're talking about the SB model here. Sealed subs really surprised me in how low they hit and how great it sounds.
I can't wait for the day you go crazy and order a PSA S7201. Every video from the unboxing to the review would be epic.
I had the pb3000 and I thought the same thing I now have the dual sb3000 and iv notice with them don’t use the lfe (rca) input use the other normal input input it then bypasses the lfe but can still use the app to change hz with lfe input it’s asking for the full range lfe from the avr
Thanks to your review of the SR8012, I am going to get the same model to upgrade my home theater
Awesome and congrats!
I would be grateful if you use my affiliate link in the description of my videos when you go to purchase it.
@@Youthman unfortunately I can't as the deal with the sub could not ship to Singapore. Moreover I am not sure if it has at least one year warranty
Great video! Thank you for the review! I just have one question, It's obvious in your video that there is a big difference between the SB3000 and PB3000 when it comes to movies, but what about the PB3000's performance in music in sealed mode compared to the SB3000? Is the PB3000 the best choice for someone who wants to enjoys tight bass in music and explosive sound in movies or is it more suitable for movies and but boomy when it comes to music? Thank you in advance!
I didn't realize the PB3000 has a sealed mode.... Youthman, have you experimented with this mode? How does it compare to the SB3000 for music listening?
the subwoofer came up through the water haha
I own the SVS SB-2000. It rocks my rather small 11 x 11 x 9’ dedicated man-cave. Works great with both my high end 2 channel audio system and will startle the wife when the sub kicks-in during movies. I can only imagine what these larger subs are capable of...
Same here. Great subs! 😉
midevil1980 ABSOLUTELY!
I have one sb1000 and its more than enough amazing depth and clarity for home theater
We are running SVS SB2000's. Incredible bass, incredible company.
Hey Bud, do you recommend this for movies I have a paradigm 12 inch now it’s about 17 years old and it sounds very very muddy not sure why speaker looks fine come on now? Need your help youthman!!
I’m confused by you setting the low pass filter in the sub to 80hz. I was under the impression that you should always let your av or processor handle that. It even says in the SVS app to keep the low pass filter in the off position when using a av receiver.
You are correct. This is an older video. Typically you do not want to use the crossover in your AVR and also in your sub. Now I set the crossovers in my processor and either turn the sub crossover all the way up or use the LFE setting or input on the sub to bypass the sub’s crossover.
I didn't understand why you preferred SVS SB3000 compared to SVS SP3000. Is it better with music? Does it have tighter bass and more punch? Easier to find a good position acoustically?
What are your "go to" bass tracks ?? When I'm tuning a system I always run some Skrillex, Excision, Knife Party, that's what I use for the bottom...then I do some Jazz, Country... Elvis, Patsy Kline, Herb Alpert...after that, if the customer isn't home ...
METAL !!!!!!
poserwannabe jeezy-put on, drake-nonstop those have some crazy low bass
@@Zoranurai13 I will definitely check them out 👍👍
Just watched Aquaman last night, amazing movie! 😉👍
Did you see him hit the big submarine-like subwoofer?
Haha
When your submarine pb-3000 puts a smile on your face
would be cool with review of the new SVS Pinnacle speakers, if they would allow a loan.
I could get a pair if I asked but I have a lot I’m currently reviewing and more on the way from some new brands so I probably will not be getting a pair in for review.
I wish you would have gone this in depth when you reviewed the PSA S3601 Sub. Personally I prefer the sound of sealed and to get that tactile feel got MOAWR POWER. I have two PSA S3000i and one PSA XS-30se for a total of 6 15" active drivers.
Nice review bro. Please I'm in trouble and I need your advice.
Should I place my subwoofer on an air pillow or air seating similar to air seats use during summer on beaches?
Neighbour below girlfriend's floor banged on flat door recently screaming that everything in hers was vibrating terrifying her child. The svs soundpath isolation feet on the sb3k obviously failed to stop sound penetrating foor. I was surprised because subwoofer itself wasn't even trembling. I do not doubt neighbour because the entire medium size livingroo was extremely pressurised from the music.
Unlike previous year Christmas I forgot this time to add a piece of antivibration mat underneath as an addition to the svs isolation feet. This neighbour didn't complain that time then.
Air seat or not? Any suggestion? Thanks in advance
However there is a problem, but more of a catch, with the SR8012. Regions or countries that uses 110-120V AC current will have the SR8012 named as AV Surround *RECEIVER*. However in 230-240V AC regions, it WILL be named AV Surround *AMPLIFIER*. The receiver has an AM+FM antenna input, but for the amplifier, it does not contain. I hope you see this soon as this may escalate to a big issue
I’m not sure how this is a big issue as I didn’t even mention the AM/FM capabilities of the unit as most people in home theater likely are not listening to the radio on their receiver, rather high quality CD’s, SACD, Blu-ray concerts etc.
Man you got me wanting to check out Aquaman! I'll have to do so once I get my SVS sub 😉
Oh yeah!
I would be interested to see how the SB3000 would perform in my room which is 12X10 with a 12 foot ceiling that slants down to 9 feet. Do you think the sub would over power the room? Should I drop down to the SB2000 pro? I just love the way a sealed sub sounds!
No, it really depends on what you’re wanting in your room. What you want your subwoofer to do I want my subwoofer to punch me in the gut punch me in the face.
I have 2PB 2000 pro and they are not doing it for me in my small room
My small room measurements is about 11‘ x 8‘ probably
@@alambe7275 I made that post almost 3 years ago. I have dual SB3000’s now in the same room. I don’t know if you can still find them anywhere, but look for a sub called the Epik Empire. It will take care of your small room. Then again, with dual 15’s it better!
@@johnbruce4003 duel, SB 3000 nice
Nice preview, what does add the sb for movies is more subtil than the Pb. In my personal setting I combine the strengths of both ported and sealed subs, so I get at the same time the output from the ported sub and the quick slams from the sealed sub. Maybe you can try this out to see how it works for you.
as a noob on those Thing. where do i feel and hear the differences between the SB 2000 and SB 3000?
I am assuming that 3000 is just louder and has a bit deeper bass at low frequencies.
I have 2 r112sw and am satisfied with the low end of those. Not a super low end guy I listen to metal 95% of time and movies 5% although when I watch movies I'm very satisfied with the dual r112sw subs. But when listing to metal I have to turn those wayyy up on gain for them to have any hard PUNCH and never gets to that chest thump level. Are these better for that?
perphas u may try procella audio v21 (dual 21inch subwoofers in a box)
Action speaks louder than words
During the test at the end, my clock fell off the wall, dishes were clattering, things on shelves were walking, goodness the bass.
Lol nice
I keep hearing people rave about the PB-3000 but not so much on the PB4000. Have you heard the difference between the two? Is the PB3000 the perfect sweet spot for size/price etc.? Does the 4000 sound markedly bigger/louder etc? I know the PB16 is the flagship and can’t be beat but what say you about the 4000?
I have not heard the PB4000
Youthman awesome video, I take my PB3000 from SVS because of you!
SHOW TO SVS BECAUSE OF YOU, is amazing, but tell me how can I make them disappear in the sound? they are to powerful
Speaker placement is everything. Your sound equipment is everything. Sound calibration is everything. Room size is everything. It's your house!!! try everything!!!!! Don't know what size sub you have but, the crawl test is ur best bet. If you can place the sub in the spot where u usually sit then put it there. From that point crawl around the room until you find a spot where the bass sounds the best. After that place ur sub in that spot. And as for ur main speakers try playing some movies with a lot of dialog ( people talking and such). Move the speakers toed in and spread them or bring them closer together until it sounds like the sound is coming from the center channel. OOOPs MY bad....Make sure you are in stereo when you try this with your main speaker though! I hope this helps!!!
Did you mean SB instead of pb in the title?
Was just wondering this
Same question.
Yes I did. Good catch guys. Just corrected it
Sealed box ...SB .....didn't he state sealed box!?!
Yes He did, but it wasnt worded correctly in the title of the video.
what is better ?? buying two svs sb2000 or one svs pb3000
a0ag2 if you are on your own, pb3000. If you have multiple seats, dual 2000’s
Depending on your room dual all the way
Can always add a second one later... 😉
My home theatrer system : WHARFEDALE DIAMOND 11.2 FOR FRONT 11.1 FOR BACK SPEAKERS AND 11. CS FOR CENTER. Subwoofer svs sb 2000 as universal for music cinema and game
I've been bouncing back and forth about whether to go dual pb 2000's or dual sb 3000's. My room itself isn't huge but it opens up to the rest of the house, I have tile floors and vaulted ceilings. There might be considerable room gain with a sealed sub but I'm wondering if the added output of a ported sub would still be a better option for movies. Your thoughts?
I’d go with dual SB3000s. I have the Pb3000 and 2 of them would blow me into a jail cell for constant noise complaints lol 😂
So how well do the pb3000's hold up to the pb 16 ultras. Having had both if you owned the pb13's would you think spending the money to go to the 16's is worth it or is the cost more than the sound upgrade provided. Would you be happier putting that money elsewhere in the system and keep the 13's in this hypothetical or do you just have to go to the 16,s cus the sound is just so much more happy
This is a good question that needs to be answered
It all depends on how big your room is, how much bass you like etc. The PB16’s have a lot more output than the PB3000.
@@Youthman Since this comment, 2 years ago, holy smokes, I as of about 5 months ago, took possession of my very own PB-3000. It was a value decision, and I'm very pleased with the results in my space. Honestly, I dont think I could move the pb--16 around my house anyway, the 3000 is big and heavy enough as it is.
U fortunately with 85,000 subscribers, I do not see every question and comment that comes in
Could you Compare the SB3000 vs the PB2000? I have a small room and SvS recommend the SB3
I probably will not be getting the PB2000 in for review
JTR makes a duel 18-inch powered subwoofer that leaves anything from SVS in its shadow.
Their RS1 ( single 18 ) would likely do the same.
the movie rampage also has great bass
I haven’t seen that one yet
PB vs SB, the result was expected. What about comparing to a dual SB? 😁
I don’t have dual SB
Just a single of each
Plan to run dual 3000 subs in my home theater.
What did you get?
Hi, I have small room about 16m2 (172 square feet) and I want subwoofer mostly for music. Do you think SB-2000 Pro is a good choice?
Old comment I realize, but yes! It would be a good choice. Get the best sub you can for future expansion is my best advice. The 3000 would be my 1st choice imo.
Hey youthman youre title is pb3000 but i think you mean te sb3000 ? Great review though 👍🏻
Youthman thanks to your videos went from getting dual 150spl klipsch to dual monolith 15s to finally dual sb4000. They shake the house the glass rattles on only -15 on av and -8 on the sub. I bumped it 2db on 20hz with 1.4 curve in the peq. No distortion the body is shaken would love to see a review of the dual sb4000s with movies and music. Ps. 4k the Nun at the beginning and bladerunner 2049 you can feel those 10hz signals even on edge of tommorow its brutal when both are only 8ft away from 1 line of seats..... thanks again
Awesome! Congrats on the upgrade.
@@Youthman all i can say is thanks again wouldnt done without your videos which sent me on some serious researching. Keep up the good work.
So you went from two 15-inch Monoliths to the dual SB4000s and preferred the sealed over ported configuration. Thank you for that input. Been looking at dual Sb-3000s, but may just try those out then use the return policy or Bill of Rights through SVS and upgrade it. That's why I'm sticking with SVS.
Hi, just a small correction sir, near the end of the video, you mentioned about showing a demo of the SB3000, which you did show the sub in action. However, you on the upper left hand corner, you titled it as the PB3000 and not the SB3000? Just a small observation, but still a good vid.
Thanks. Yes that was a typo. Unfortunately there isn’t a way to fix an error without deleting the video.
Didn't you tweak the SB to movies and the same for music?
Great video, always love the info.
Question, could I pair a SB 3000 with a SB 4000? I know it’s better to match the model. But I have an option to make that happen right now. Thanks in advance!
Absolutely no issues with pairing two different model sealed subs. I just do not recommend mixing sealed and ported.
Youthman thank you sir. That is great news. I truly appreciate your prompt and honest response.
I keep trying to convince myself not to swap my old-ish klipsch r-12sw for a 2000 series (as 3000 series is waaaay too expensive here in the UK, almost 2x the price of 2000 series, and like 60-70% more expensive than in US, which is ludicrous). But i am tempted...
The better option would be a 12.17 Edge subwoofer from XTZ. They are basically the EU version of SVS
There are alot of good subs made in Europe but once you hear svs it is hard to find anything that compares to it in the same box size. I had a monitor audio bxw-10 sub some time ago and it was good but nowhere close to klipsch and svs subs. Will have a look at BK, thanks. And i heard REL subs are quite good too.
@@Weecka2007 Got my sb2000 on ebay in germany for 950 euro, no regrets, was planning on a second nut I only need one sweet spot don't know is it worth a second, Would of loved to have app control like the newer series, got a mini dsp instead
I'm iireland btw
Are sealed subs better for music compared to ported subs?
Yes, in most cases. That's usually the biggest difference between sealed and ported. More accuracy and punch with sealed, and more overall volume and bass output with ported. I've always preferred sealed for music... Enjoy! 😉👍
midevil1980 cool, thanks for the input!
@@BeeRye Any time! Also, I HIGHLY recommend going Duel if possible, even if it means 2 SB 2000's instead of 1 SB 3000. Just something to consider... Take care! 😊
@@midevil1980 If you only have one sweet spot is there any other benefits to go dual, I have 1 SB 2000
@@jimmy2shoes75 Personally I felt when I added a 2nd sub even when I had only one main seat, it made a pretty significant difference. It created a much more even and room filling sound with more punch, and I didn't have to work my one sub so hard anymore trying to make up the difference that the 2nd one added. In my opinion, now that I've gone duel, I don't think I could ever go back. It made that big of a difference for me. That's just my honest opinion based on my personal experience. Hope that helps... 😊
You need to try it with Spider-man into the Spider-verse.....lots of LFE and sub bass. Loved it on my Rythmik Audio F25...
You need to watch the movie U-571 the sound effects is excellent and it’s a great movie 🎥

sealed subs... I have been telling stories about the sub we test ..and the entire warehouse is filed with balanced tone ... from way down to 25-30hz .. It's amazing.
Sweet. Maybe one day I will get to review it
To be honest, you really are an audiophile giving the sort of expensive quality subwoofers you've mentioned. I do not think there's anything out there that can fully satisfy you.
Should the PB-2000 have noticeably more output than the SB-3000? The PB-3000 is simply too large for my space.
I have not heard the PB 2000 to compare it to the SB 3000 that would be a question to ask SVS
Youthman need your opinion on this subwoofer was going to get 2 hsu vtf-2 mk5 subs to upgrade from 2 pioneer elite sw-e10 but after hooking up my new speakers which are a lot larger than my old set up making me notice that I might not have enough space for the hsu so now even though I wanted 2 ported subs but I dont think I have the space my room size is 10 by 15 will 2 of these sb 3000 be just as good its sealed but it has a lot more power than the hsu what you think please help
HI dear.
Really nice
How much price.
Thanks
Would you get a single PB3000 or dual SB3000 for 80%movies/20%music on a small bedroom (14 x 11 x 8.75 feet or roughly 14sqm)? (note: no space for dual PB3000)
For me, I like dual subs but I would go with the PB3000 as I felt it was much better for movies. But since your room is smaller than mine, dual SB3000 would likely work well too
I might have missed it but did you do any REW measurements for the SB 3000?
Honestly I don’t remember if I did or not
Aren’t you supposed to keep the low pass filter off when using an av receiver? I have this sub and have mine set to off and my av receiver sub crossover set to 120. Is this correct or am I an idiot?
You are correct. See my response to Ender.
However the raised svs prices in europe ruin the value of their products.
The have no value here in the EU due to the ridiculous high prices compared with the US.
@@bloodcarver913 true an sb1000 is already 600.-
Calvin Pas you should look at xtz subwoofers in europe, they are slowly killing it with subs
@@Zoranurai13 i already have an svs sb2000
What do you think about their PC4000? Yay or nay? Are you sacrificing anything for the room saving it gives?
I have not heard the PC series but check out my friend’s review of it here - ua-cam.com/video/anH9zUc1Eo0/v-deo.html
I run dual PC4000s. Amazing quality output.
@@marknelson801 thanks, I'm really leaning towards these, just haven't really pulled the plug yet on doing so. Wife really likes the look on them though as they are also different from anything else. Thanks again.
Hello youthman, How does the svs sb16 compare to the jtr rs1 dynamics and sound quality wise?
Same answer as on your other comment. JTR is in a whole different league than SVS.
When you set the LFE on the app to 80hz do you turn off the LFE on ur avr? Or do you leave it at 120hz.
Always leave your "LFE" set to 120Hz on your AVR, and Max/LFE on the sub. Then test different "crossover" settings on your AVR to see what sounds best in your room and control it that way, typically between 60-100Hz depending on your personal preference. 😉
midevil1980 Isn’t anything below 120 technically inaccurate tho?
@@bakoe7604 On the sub, and the LFE setting in your AVR, YES. For your speaker crossover settings in your AVR, which are different, would typically be set to around 80Hz for all speakers. Just wanted to make sure he wasn't confusing the two settings.
Simply put, let the AVR control all of your crossover settings, not your subs. Hope that makes sense. Sorry for any confusion... 😊
midevil1980 Ah okay I thought you were only talking about the LFE channel my bad
My settings are on movie-10db and receiver-1 speakers set to small 80hz?
Yes you did. New response. I think he means that you mentioned it in your video not in the title.
The title currently says SB3000. Originally it said PB3000 in the title which was a typo.
Hi bro. Please could you kindly advise what would you say is the ideal svs subwoofer to buy for a room measuring 10 feet by 13 feet. Meant for home theatre. Thank you in advance
I would look at the PB2000 or PB3000.
@@Youthman okay thank you very much for getting back to me. I really appreciate Sir.
@@Youthman ok thanks for your pb200 or pb3000 suggestion. But what svs sealed subwoofer would you suggest if a ported box isn't preferred?
NB: Room size is 10ft by 13ft , that's upstairs, with wooden floor, with 3 neighbours: one underneath and one to two sides each. Im aware of svs' isolation feet by the way. Good day and thank you again.
Have you compared the SB 3000 and the SB 4000? I can't find any videos on that and an opinion on how much difference there is. I know its a different size driver but how much audible difference is there and does it justify the extra few hundred dollars?
I have not heard the SB2000. For home theater, I much prefer the PB3000 over the SB3000. The SB3000 is fantastic for music.
@@Youthman Thanks Youthman. I got rid of my SB2000 and am trying to decide which to buy next. Have you done a SB3000 v SB4000 Comparison? Is the SB4000 similar to the PB3000? Any thoughts on that one?
TheVillaman has the sb4000. Look him up. He did a review of the sb-3000.
Hey youthman I know in general you shouldn't mix speakers/brands but would it work/sound fine if I use the svs prime elevation speakers for dolby atmos with all my other speakers being klipsch referance premiere?
It's ok to mix brands/speakers. However by mixing different brands and such you may experience phase/timing issues amongst them. All speakers do not always produce sound waves at thee exact same time . In other words you may experience sound lag between the different brand name groups. The best thing in my opinion is to try the speakers out for ur self and see if ur receiver can help calibrate the timing of all of ur speakers for maximum performance. I hope this helps answer your question. After all, hometheater and music is all about trial and era. Enjoy my friend!!!
Hi there, great video! I have a question, I am about to buy a SVS 2000 series sub, but am torn between the SB and PB. I will be using them for 90% music in stereo. I am putting them with a pair of Fluance Signature series towers. Would you think the sealed of ported would work better. I really like the size of the sealed sub. Also will eventually be getting a second sub.
Thanks for any help!
I have not reviewed the 2000 series but I thoroughly enjoyed the SB3000 for music but not for movies. So I think the SB2000 would likely work better for your setup than the PB2000
@@Youthman thank you. I just ordered the SB 2000 PRO.
Shawn Macdonald congrats. Let me know how you like it
I'm strongly considering 2 sb4000s for music. I have a rotel separates system with a pair of Polk audio lsim707s. Any thoughts???
Phenomenal subs if you're looking for sealed, I think you'd be very happy! 😉👍
I agree. A pair of dual SB4000 would be awesome
@@Youthman Consider it done. I will order them this week. Thanks.
@@midevil1980 Thanks man. I will buy them.
@@robbochopper77stereolove92 - You're very welcome! Let us know what you think once you get those bad boys hooked up! 😎
Can you do a review with the emotiva RS13 subs
Like James Wiens said, you must have meant SB3000 instead of PB like the title says..
Corrected the title. Thanks!
What do you mean your set the volume on your AVR at 0? Reference level?
He is referring to the subwoofer trim level which you set in your AVR.
Also, a trim setting of 0 is ideal because your AVR is not applying any boost or cut to the subwoofer signal level. Closer to zero is better but a negative number is also fine. Try not to do a positive number since applying a boost to the signal is not ideal and can lead to clipping.
I thought he was referring to the volume on the AVR when set to Relative not Absolute... 🤔
True power
Try Massive Attack - Collected (2006) - Angel. Ultimate bass track ^^
Nice.
Another great review. I know you have tons of requests for reviews, but would love to see how the pb2000 compares with the klipsch r115sw. That video would get a ton of views! Battle of the budget big boys!
Please tell me how much difference is between one SB3000 and one SB16-Ultra ? SB3000 is much worse or a just little worse than SB16-Ultra ? How about going to super low frequencies (20Hz or lower) ? It is capable of doing that ?
The sb 16 ultra is on the same level as a PB 2000 @ 20hz. But mid and upper bass the 16ultra will be way ahead
@@shaapoopiee Iam curious about quality of the basse of SB3000 comparing to SB16-Ultra but not max loudness... I living in rather small apartment with many neighbors and I cant play on high vol levels so i wont use even half of the power that SB16-Ultra can provide. But i still love good quality and low drop of base and i dont know if SB3000 can provide that... If i will lose much quality of the base buying SB3000 than SB16-Ultra then i will wait a little longer and buy SB16-Ultra (even if it 2x price of SB3000)
@@FPPfan depends how big your room is

Hi bro. Please if you don't mind, what input have you got about my situation?
My onkyo receiver volume only reaches 89 as its maximum. So why can't volume reach 100 max? Is this normal across receivers? With that said, I usually make up for the volume difference by using my phone volume when playing music via bluetooth though.
To be honest, at home for music and movie, I do not need the volume at 100 max because it would overwhelm myself plus neighbours too. I'm taking my basic home theatre to a small birthday get together so I was just wondering why.
Btw, I'm using q acoustics 3090ci centre speak, 3030i bookshelf and sb3000.
Thanks in advance
Most AVR’s default volume is an absolute scale (usually 0-100). This is different with every manufacture so I recommend changing the volume to relative (-60dB to +20dB). With the latter scale, it is relative to Reference level.
So if you run your auto calibration, your 0dB volume would be the same exact volume as my 0dB on my Marantz because both are calibrated with 0dB as being Reference volume.
@@Youthman ok thank you very much for throwing light on this. I really appreciate.
@@Youthman I've tried everything you've advised me and even read AVR manual it still didn't work out.
I then decided to restore AVR to its original factory settings and though I had to go through a lot again it finally paid off!! I've discovered where volume settings are and can now pre-set to reach 99% max as well as minimum. I've tested it via bluetooth, decreasing phone media volume and cranking up receiver volume to the 99%... which didn't happen previously after several attempts. I couldn't earlier locate some settings. In fact sound quality has improved.
There were obviously some technical glitches. Anyone reading this shouldn't forget to reset theirs. I'm extremely grateful for your help because I really needed this volume sorted for the mini party just in case. Thank you bro.
Glad I can help. Good luck with your party
the excursion test at the end is a SB not PB, right? same error as the original title?
Ah sorry, yes that was a typo. It was the SB shown.
@@Youthman no worries, great video m8
i really do 90% movie what u think is better sb 3000 or pb 3000 thanks
PB3000 any day for movies
Which is bêtter mate for movies sb or pb3000?
Ported subs typically provide more output which is often better for movies.
Comparing a sealed sub compared to a ported sub just isn't a fair comparison. Of course you're going to get more SPL and low frequency extension from the PB3000. I love SVS's sealed subs, but to get true home theater heart pounding spine rattling bass and LFE, you'll have to step it up to the SB16-Ultra (dual's at that) for at least my size room which is 1800 Cubic Feet. But yes, for music I would think the SB3000 would be impressive to most!
I had Dual SB16 in a 2470 square foot room and it wasn’t enough for my taste. Dual PB16’s were
@@Youthman Would you go with dual PB-3000s over dual SB-4000s/Sb-16ultras? Thanks!
which one has more feeling of bass sealed or ported subwoofer ??
Ported tend to have a lot more output than sealed
@@Youthman I have Klipsch R115SW and did not give me that feeling of bass that i want .. Now I am thinking to upgrade to sb3000 ... do you think it gonna be huge different ??
